Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Momentum is a vector quantity that depends on an object's mass and velocity. It has units of kilogram-meters/second. The law of conservation of momentum states that in a closed system, the total momentum of interacting objects before an event occurs will be equal to the total momentum after the event if no external forces act on the system.

Use Newtons 2nd and 3rd law to explain the image above:
II. Momentum is a vector
A. Scalar: B. Vector: C. Momentum = _________________ x __________________ D. Units of momentum are ________________________. E. If we know an objects mass and velocity, we can solve for its momentum, for example:
III. The law of conservation of momentum states that:
In a closed system A. The total momentum of interacting objects in a system cannot change, as long as ______________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ B. You can write the law of the conservation of momentum as a formula, like this: __________________________________ = ________________________________
